The castle is divided into chambers, where we have to deal with various riddles, prepared by the creators of the game. The product includes popular language and mathematical tasks (e.g. pendulum, magic square), as well as more complex challenges in logic, astronomy and programming. Having dealt with all the riddles, we move to the next part of the estate, where we are facing new problems, usually requiring more effort from the grey cells.
In Castle of Dr. Brain player can increase or decrease the difficulty level of puzzles during the struggle. In crisis situations it is possible to obtain hints through coins, which we get while playing.
